What might have been: Two Wolverines in X-Men: Days of Future Past?
X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn exited the follow up to direct Kingsman: The Secret Service. Bryan Singer returned to the X-franchise and the rest is future history.
While promoting the new spy film Vaughn reveals his plans for the X-Men sequel in which Logan went into the past to change the mutants future.
“I had a whole different idea of how X-Men should go. I thought ‘Days of Future Past’ should be the next one and be set in the ’80s. So, when I wrote the treatment, I then wrote Kingsman and got confused about which film I should direct next.
Then I said to Fox, ‘Let me do Kingsman now, get somebody else in and we’ll do the ’70s version, recast Wolverine, and then we do Days of Future Past with the new Wolverine AND Hugh, and make it the biggest spectacle we’ve ever seen,” Vaughn told MTV.
There’s no official word but Hugh Jackman is expected to appear in X-Men: Apocalypse and a third solo Wolverine film.
New actors are set to play younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse which is set in the 1980’s.
